This is why I love being a James Bond fan. We all come to the party with different taste and opinions but in the end we part as friends.

Here’s one. Tomorrow Never Dies is the last great ‘Bond’ film in terms of being a standard mission for Bond with no formula stretching. Every movie since then is either a dud on some level (WINE, DAD, QoS, Spectre) or may be a superior film (CR, Skyfall, NTTD) but stretches or twists the Bond formula to the limit. In other words, it was the last one that was both good and felt like a classic Bond adventure. For instance, Bond didn’t go ‘rogue’ or M wasn’t in trouble, no huge drama for Bond, etc.

I feel I have a more unpopular opinion: I think Goldfinger is overrated, it's not a bad movie, it just isn't as great as people make it to be. Please allow me to elaborate: First, I don't like Bond in that movie, he's way too incompetent. He is ordered to quietly spy on Goldfinger, but instead he decides to expose himself and sleep with his girl, which would be funny if it didn't get Jill killed, a beautiful gold-painted victim of Bond's ego. Then he tries to go "undercover" when obviously they know who he is (they just forgave his life in Miami) all just to win an useless golf game. He teams up with Tilly, who is a totally wasted character btw, she's very interesting but sadly the movie wouldn't be different if she wasn't in it; anyway she was in cover behind the DB5, and Bond I don't know why tells her to run and that gets her killed. He then gets captured and remains a prisoner until the end (not to mention he is unable to escape while driving a super car), every attempt he makes to escape or communicate with the outside world fails and his best idea is to try to rapely seduce Pussy into changing sides... This somehow works. In the third act he's okay, but only because he just has to punch his way out of the movie and collect his undeserving victory. I get people like him because he's more charismatic, funny and relaxed that in the previous movies, but I prefer him in those, because he was a way better agent. Second, I think Pussy galore is a bad character. I feel people like her, just because Honor Blackman is beautiful and charismatic, but her character I don't get. She's presented as a villain, and is an accomplice on Goldfinger's plan. I'm unsure how much she knows, the gas being lethal and the plans to nuke Fort Knox, being two major points that would make her a despicable human being if she is willing to go with it. Perhaps she doesn't know the full plan and that's how Bond convince her to help, but since this isn't in the movie, her turning to the light side doesn't make sense at all; I'm not asking for a huge character journey but this is the major twist of the movie that saves the day, and I don't know why it happens. I know this movie's success made James Bond what he's today, and sure, historically speaking it's iconic and influential, mostly because people hadn't seen anything like it at the time. I acknowledge the movie has good in it; Goldfinger and Oddjob are fun, entertaining antagonists, the villain plan is elegant and classic, the DB5 and the gadgets are cool (I don't like however that they are useless to the mission); but Bond's incompetence, Pussy turning good just because, Tilly's wasted potential, are in my opinion heavy flaws that keeps this movie from being great, I wouldn't call it bad either just because it's not boring to watch, but as a movie it's just okay.

I agree with you on the Talisa Soto issue. Totally makes sense to me that Lupe knows exactly what's going on there.

I liked Lazenby's grin and outright physicalness. He reminded my of my policeman father's ways and style. The direction of OHMSS was slick and the story more enjoyable than some later offerings. But then - NOTHING can make me see any redeeming qualities in Spectre.

Absolutely loved this! Some really interesting points and excellent editing! Well done Dutch!!

Spectre would be a very good movie if it were: 1) 20% shorter (more concise) 2) revised plot for the last 30% of the movie (removing totally the aim to bind all craig movies together) 3) change the Morocco "villain's lair" to a better location such as old cold war era bunker somewhere in Europe. The train sequence would be much better if filmed again on some European rail connection

I wouldn't really call these unpopular outside of the first and second entires. I know a multitude of people who adore Serra's music to GoldenEye, myself included. The industrial sound just works so well for Bond, one of the examples would be to also compare it directly to his work on Leon The Professional which is essentially identical in sound but minus the cheesier aspects of scenes like the car chase to Monaco. It's far from a bad soundtrack at all.

DUUUUDE!!! I LOVE ERIC SERA'S GOLDENEYE SOUNDTRACK! I'm tired of listening to everyone slate it. It's so unique with that industrial cold war sound. And that gunbarrel music! Great video 👍

I'm with you on The Man with the Golden Gun - very underrated. And I actually really enjoyed Spectre personally, minus the ending

I too have always been onboard with Spectre. It was my first Bond Film in the theater but to see that they had gone back to a touch of lightheartedness always meant something special to me following all the dark and gritty elements of the first three Craig movies. Not as fun as Tomorrow Never Dies but it was like Craig's take on a Classic Bond Movie. I still don't think Cary's cinematography could be Sam's either. Spectre is still very visually pleasing.

If Connery had stayed in shape and not grown to hate the role of 007, OHMSS would have been a perfect swansong for his tenure as Bond LALD and TMWTGG are both equally bad, as far as I'm concerned 😋 I agree totally about that Talisa Soto line. It was always obvious to me that it was her character Lupe who was the bad actor, pretending to love Bond, not Talisa herself. Again, I agree about Spectre. It's better than the miserable Skyfail, which is hugely overrated (in my opinion) The Goldeneye score has grown on me. As a Bond score I still think it's poor, but it does capture the sound of a 90s post cold-war thriller. Maybe that's just 1990s nostalgia on my part...

Serra's Goldeneye soundtrack is great, very atmospheric

In regards to #1, I think there’s an answer in the film for one of your questions. Before Bond destroys Piz Gloria he photographs the map in Blofeld’s lab showing the pictures and locations of each of the girls. Presumably MI6 will have them brought in and deprogrammed ASAP. I completely agree with you about Spectre. I actually like it quite a bit.

Wow, I never noticed that in License to Kill. I see that scene in a totally different way now. Thank you!

I have three: 1. I actually enjoyed Quantum of Solace more than Casino Royale. I have to rewatch both to figure out why. Something about the prolonged torture and things like that, and I also like the bond girl in QS. I wonder if it felt a bit more like a classic Bond movie, even if CR is more closely based on the book. 2. Octopussy is underrated. I love this one, even if it has a couple of bad jokes. Love the trains, knife fighting, the opening is epic (both the plane and the murder of the clown agent). 3. Even if I love Sean Connery, Diamonds Are Forever is possibly the worst Bond movie ever. Maybe.

Unpopular opinions: - Quantum of Solace is a great cinematographic achievement (I love its style, its narration, its photography, its character treatment), and it works either as a great stand-alone AND as a great second chapter for the Quantum organisation continuous narrative (which the two Sam Mendès films butchered) - The Spy Who Loved Me would be such a great film if it was only 30 minutes-long movie. We can save the Egypt sequence and forget all the rest (ok, I'll only miss the underwater car chase). After the Egypt sequence, there is no more story line, it's a boring 90 minutes-long final action scene. And also, Agent Triple-X is written like any generic damsel-in-distress character, despite being introduced as a virtuose agent. Seriously, why do every other character seems to take for granted that she kicks ass????? (ok, I admit that it was the very first attempt in the series to have a female agent that would be equal to Bond, but it's a failed attempt) - I'm not a fan of Sam Mendès classical approach to the franchise. Despite great visual and directing qualities, those two films choose to do a back-to-the-bond-clichés. Reintroducing the old Aston Martin cars is fine, but it's such a shame to have reintroduced the over-the-top elements and the tongue-in-cheek tone of the film series, that Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace had been working hard to deconstruct. - Octopussy is my second best Roger Moore film (I love John Glen serious take on the plots of each of his films, it feels more like real spy movies with action in it, than action movies) and I even have absolutely no issue with the clown disguise sequence (just because he is disguised as a clown doesn't make the scene clownesque. He's masquerading only to get to the bomb, that's what a secret agent could do to get the job done. Not every Bond sequence has to be stylish and bad-ass. It's a smart and brave move required by the urgency of the situation.) - I love Eric Serra's score for Goldeneye, INCLUDING THE CAR CHASE SEQUENCE.

I also have an unpopular opinion: Timothy Dalton is the best bond of all time

I also love Eric Serra's score "Goldeneye" score, especially "The Experience of Loving" over the closing credits. It's a memorable score that is stylishly unique. Of course, I also love Michel LeGrand's jazzy "Never Say Never Again" score, so you can decide how much my opinion is worth :)

With you on the Eric Serra soundtrack. Look beyond the issues and there's a lot to like. I love "Run, Shoot, Jump". I also like a lot about The Man With The Golden Gun too. Overlook some of the silly little bits and it becomes great instead of good. Just like Octopussy.

The reason I love your channel is because you talk about things that personally interest me as a fan of the series

"The Man With The Golden Gun" title song is actually one of my all-time favorites. Maybe even number one. Then again, "Live And Let Die" is way up there too.

re OHMSS "How does blowing up the command base stop Blofeld from activating his Angeld Of Death" - There is a scene during the attack when Bond photographs the giant map which Blofeld had posted with the names, addresses & photographs of the Angels. Presumably they will all be detained, & disarmed before Blofeld can re-establish communications and hopefully deprogrammed.

I think Eric Serras soundtrack was important to differentiate Brosnans Bond from the other´s before him. Remeber, in the 90ties bond had such a bad reputation, that ace of base didn´t want to do a song for golden eye, in fear of their reputation. So to start from a new chapter, a lot had to be changed. The new graphics in the titlecard, finally a decent budget, unlike most of the 80ties movies, a new and fresh bond that emulated some of conneries qualaties, and a different score were needed, so the audience could forget some of the lackluster 80ties entries, like a view to a kill. Also it fits, because bond in the 90ties was very high tech and gadget oriented, so a more industrial score fits, as does a more classic score for casino royale, because that is the addaption of a classic bond story, like it would have been adapted in the 60ties, except with the technology of today and obivously set in todays time.

"OHMSS" is my #1 favorite, and I'm only annoyed that to date I've never seen it in widescreen. I probably have the ultimate "unpopular" opinion regarding the Bond film series: MY favorite girl is Bibi Dahl. I would still love to meet someone like her.

I rank Moonraker higher then GF. AVTAK is in my top 5. TMND and Twine are my 2th and 3th favorite Bond movie. Skyfall my last favorite Bond movie whyle QOS is my favorite Daniel Craig Bond movie.

I myself think that "The Man with the Golden Gun" is a very unfairly rated movie. I too feel it's one of the best in the series. I think Scaramanga's Island lair is probably the coolest lair ever. I just love it! The movie works for me on many levels. Personally, my favourite Bond movie will always be "The Spy Who Loved Me". There are numerous reasons for that, but one of the more 'unpopular' reasons for my liking the film so much is the main villain. The late Curt Jurgens as the evil Shipping Magnate Karl Stromberg was (to me) very convincing as a villain. The part where Bond looks into those impressive fish tanks and sees the remains of a woman's hand lying at the bottom of the tank was really upsetting when I first saw the movie as a child. I thought that really emphasised just how evil this man really is. His cold eyes and strange accent really added to that idea. Stromberg's underwater lair was also super cool - especially with those helicopters under the plexiglass domes. As a child, I was captivated by the idea of those helicopters still being intact under the sea, waiting to be found...

Unpopular opinion: Casino Royale 1967 is actually pretty fun. It's dumb and ridiculous, but you can still have fun with it.

I absolutely loveeee Goldeneye’s score and I regularly just listen to it on its own

Do you want to hear the most unpopular opinion on Bond movies? *I loved "Casino Royale" (1967) so much that I thought that it was the best movie I've ever seen in my life* . Okay... I was 13 when I saw it for the first time, but I really loved everything on it: the soundtrack, the incredible cast (just imagine... Peter Sellers, David Niven, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen... all together in the same film!), the production... I grew up being a true fan of that movie and for many years it was for me the best movie I've ever seen.

As I grew up I could see the weaknesses and Die Another Day but for nostalgic purposes it will hold a special place because that was the first Bond movie I watched as a kid and what made me a James Bond fan

Blofeld couldn’t set up another command centre as Bond took photos of the girls locations.

Hi DutchBondFan as Bond fans we all like different parts of the franchise, and its it here, thanks to your hard work, we can all come together and talk about what we like and dislike about our favourite British spy. Keep up the good work

An unpopular opinion of mine is that EoN isn’t capable of serving the series in the way it needs to be in the 21st century. Completely reactionary and without any forward creative planning.

A couple of mine would be that I have a huge soft spot for Diamonds Are Forever and Stromberg is one of my favourite villains in the series.

Pretty good points, i agree with several of them. Love the details, greetings from another Dutch bond-loving guy. :)

I find #3 an interesting theory. Since _License to Kill_ is one of my top Bond films, I'll take it...lol We agree with #5. I dislike the music for the tank chase and the highway race as well, but I do like other music choices such as the escape in Russia (I jogged to that music, and yes...I've imagined myself in that situation...lol) and the end theme 'The Experience of Love' which turned up in _Leon: The Professional._ I think that song was originally for _Leon._

I had never thought twice about the intent behind Talisa Soto's saying that to Pam to be honest, I really enjoyed your breakdown of it and the supporting evidence in other parts of the film. I'm definitely going to remember that every time I watch the movie from now on. My most unpopular opinion on the Bond franchise- Timothy Dalton is better than Roger Moore. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Moore, he did a lot of things very well. Dalton just suited the man in the book so much better in how I read the character.

I totally agree with your opinion of The Man with the Golden Gun. I feel it is one of the most underrated Bond films. Scaramanga and Nick Nack are iconic villains. Of course I may be biased since it was the first Bond film I saw in theaters when I was 8 years old.

I'm with you there on 4 and 5! I'm always defending Serra's music in other group discussions. In fact, I hope they'll one day restore 'A Pleasant Drive Through St. Petersburg' back as the tank chase theme as it was written for instead of the generic orchestral implant there since 1995.

Great video! Totally agree re OHMSS: I blame Christopher Nolan for everyone these days seeming to think it's the best one. I dislike that awful dubbing, the terrible editing of the fight scenes, and I don't think the story's anything special either. Diana Rigg's a great actress, sure, but that's not enough to make it good (I don't even think she's all that amazing in this movie...). My unpopular opinion: As great as the movie is, Casino Royale destroyed the series forever by being a reboot, disregarded and threw away over four decades of history (despite the Craig era constantly referring "back" to it). There's loads to love about the Craig era films, but rebooting and then killing the character totally undermined - and under-valued - what for me was the whole appeal of the series in the first place. Agree on Spectre too - more than enough to admire in it (...and I feel the same about Die Another Day too), one or two poor choices aren't enough to derail the movie for me. Cheers.

I love Die Another Day. It is the final Bond film for Pierce Brosnan, my childhood 007.

Agree about Spectre. I was in a rage about Bolfeld being alive and brothers. Once I got over this the film improved greatly. Spectre and NTTD make a fine double feature. I wish Casino and Quantum were as good as a double feature.

Great video! I agree with you on everything besides OHMSS. Always loved it for the scenery and the villain. The same applies to… A view to a kill. It’s in my top 3 Bond movies and that‘s probably my most unpopular opinion ;)

More of those please!

Live and Let Die was the first Bond film that I saw and, like Calvin with Moonraker, you always have a soft spot for the first one, but as time has gone by I have to agree with you on The Man With The Golden Gun. Sure it has plot holes, but so what. Notwithstanding the slide whistle, its a stripped down, bare boned, Bond movie and sometimes those work better than the others. Agree on the Bond girl and the boat chase, but Maud Adams is no slouch either

This is a great video and some really fascinating opinions in the chat. My take on your 5 1. OHMSS is good. Lazenby's portrayal stops it being any more than that for me. 2. TMWTGG has aged well with me but I still prefer LALD. 3. Never thought about it. I'll go with your take it. 4. Spectre is indeed fine. I find the first 90 minutes really solid bond before the wheels start to come off. 5. Some of the soundbites are great but overall, it's my least favourite out of all of them especially if you watch a fan made edit with some of Barry's music. My unpopular opinions: 1. I really like QOS. There's a lot to love about it but I am fully aware of its shortcomings. 2. Goldfinger is overrated. 3. A View to a Kill is a great time. 4. I can't stand A-Ha's bond song. It's like nails on a chalk board for me. 5. Craig's bond is too damage proof. I love his first aid part in CR after the stairwell fight, it showed he was human & vulnerable. By NTTD, he can take bullets to the body, grenades to the face, bombs to the face and carry on, I really dislike the ending to NTTD because of that.

Have you seen Luc Besson's "Subway"? Eric Serra's score there fits even better than it does in "Leon". I'd seen Subway so many times, his kooky car chase music at the beginning didn't phase me when I saw Goldeneye in the theater.

Cool video. Here are my thoughts: 1. I agree. There is a lot to like in OHMSS but Lazenby will always prevent it from being higher than the middle tier in my ranking. I wish I could like him more. 2. Disagree. I don't really like both films but I find TMWTGG consistently rubbish but at least LALD has some great moments. 3. Agree, but only after your explanation. Very well argued, Jeroen! 4. Somewhat Agree. It is low in my ranking and it has loads of problems but I don't think it is terrible mostly because Craig is extremely watchable in it. 5. Somewhat Agree. Despite its reputation, some tracks are very good such as the pre title sequence music, and most music for Natalya. It is still my lowest ranked score though.

My personal unpopular opinions all stem from Brosnan. I think he is the best cinematic Bond, and that 3/4 of his films are all some of the greatest Bond movies of all time, and that DAD gets way too much hate

Ahh, your audio/video clips accompanying your choices are great and gave me a good laugh! Honestly, my unpopular choice is that I actually can't stand Skyfall and actually rank it at the bottom of my list and that even includes Never Say Never Again and the 67 Casino Royale. For the life of me, I can't get why its either ranked as highly as it is or that its the top Bond film for many. Its a slog of a film and I've tried now many times to go in without any thoughts and it just falls apart each time. I'd give Quantum the edge over it and actually rank Craig's films as a bell curve!

An unpopular opinion of mine: is Lois Chiles is one of the best Bond girls, she looked stunning, fitted in great with the film & really gelled with Moore

Number 1 - I disagree. I love the movie and I think recasting Bond was the correct move as Connery looked bored. I feel the complete opposite as you about Connery playing Bond here... Good thing he didn't. And I always thought that you don't like it for reasons that are very valid and that do make a lot of sense. Number 2 - I disagree. But it's close. The 2 movies are just 2 or 3 spots apart in my full ranking. TMWTGG feels much more like a classic Bond film because it has quite memorable stuff. Strangely, I only prefer LALD because of the soundtrack, which I find absolutely fantastic and the best soundtrack in the series. Number 3 - I disagree. Talisa Soto takes me out of the movie constantly. I find her lack of acting compared to everyone else painfully obvious. Although I don't look at this within the actual story. Because within the movie and the story itself, her saying that does make sense. All I personally see is an "actress" breaking character. And not much more. Number 4 - I agree. Spectre gets quite unfairly hated. I quite enjoy it. Mr Hinx is awesome, the cinematography and the locationwork is beautiful. It brings back the old elements that the series started with. And in many parts, it feels like an old classic. Number 5 - I agree. I can't really say anything else. I share the same thoughts as you.

I absolutely agree with OHMSS. I think becuz it was so hated in the beginning, perhaps when it became a cult classic it became a bit overhyped to compensate. Problem is George Lazenby is very obviously not a professional actor. And the film does very little to justify how many ppl see Tracy-Bond as the best pairing. I love Tracy, the actress is great, but Bond in the film shows very little care for her until she saves him and thats supposedly after they already had their honeymoon period. They don’t have much chemistry and its hard to see why he would marry her. There’s just a lot of problems for me with the film. The editing one of the biggest, the car/ice-rink scene is atrocious they re-use the same video and audio clips multiple times and it looks very amateurish. Its not bad but its just not that great for me.

I also really love MwtGG. As a kid I was amazed at all the amazing locations in this movie and never thought I would see them myself. But as an adult I was lucky enough to be able to travel to all of the countries; Hong Kong, Thailand, Macau, China, and England. Thanks for posting.

My unpopular opinion: I actually don't like From Russia With Love, but I think You Only Live Twice is pretty good :)

Am I the only one who thinks that Eric Serra's GoldenEye score sounds like music taken straight from a video game? In fact, with my statement in mind, GoldenEye's score feels like a video game turned into a movie.

I agree with all of them except maybe Majesty’s. I haven’t rewatched that film in a while

Number 1: Disagree (OHMSS is my #2 favorite Bond film) but I find it's pretty widely praised these days so I'll let it slide. Number 2: Probably the one I disagree with most, I prefer Live And Let Die over Golden Gun. That being said, I don't consider Golden Gun to be all that bad. Number 3: Neither here nor there, I think you're probably right about her line delivery though. Number 4: Strongly agree! Spectre is my 2nd favorite Craig Bond movie & perhaps my favorite Craig performance. Number 5: Strongly agree! Love that score.

Great video!! I’m not too far off from you My most unpopular option is that Craig I my least favorite Bond Although I think he most like Bond in Skyfall and Spectre

I actually agree with more than I thought I would've: Spectre is fine, Soto's acting never bugged me bc i believed the same as you, Growing up with GoldenEye I've loved the score and I constantly go back and forth on whether I like live and let die or golden gun better but I do like Magesty's alot so there's that.

My 5 controversial opinions: I DON'T LIKE LICENCE TO KILL: I have no fun with this film. The fact that it's so serious makes it way less entertaining for me. And my Bond films should be fun. I have no words for the bar fight scene. This stuff just absolutely doesn't belong into a 007 film. I'm not sensitive to physical violence in movies but I think "What's the point of shooting gross scenes if you're gonna sensor them in the first version anyway?" Casting Talisa Soto also makes me complain. The woman can't act and distracts me all the time. I find the title song nice but unnessecarily long and so repetitive and dragging in its lyrics. It could be at least 2 minutes shorter. This is actually in my 5 worst Bond films. No joke. I DON'T LIKE SKYFALL: I find Skyfall by far the most tremendously overrated film in the series. The whole idea of throwing Bond off the train bridge in the opening and then being old, retired and living on pills? I j can't get my head around that... There is also no main Bond girl. Severine is rather a secondary character. Although, from the Macao scenes onwards, I find the second part of this film very, very solid. And the final battle is actually even my favourite climax in the series. I DONT LIKE FGOLDFINGER: When someone says "Bond", this instantly jumps in as an absolute classic. No denying that this movie is timelessly iconic. But after the Switzerland parts, the Kentucky ranch scenes can near well put me to sleep. I find it so boring there. Bond is almost only locked in a cell... I also truly hate Pussy Galore. Nothing against Honor Blackman! But I find the character so annoying. And boring. And uninteresting... If I was Bond, I would want nothing whatsoever to do with this chick. I DON'T LIKE FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE: I find this movie pretty boring. And it feels in many parts like a North By Northwest 2.0. The story is also quite hard to follow... The train sequences are really the only scenes I truly enjoy. OCTOPUSSY: It can put me to metaphorical tears to see Octopussy near the bottom in nearly every ranking I look at. My opinion couldn't be more different; This actually fights my number 1 top spot with GoldenEye. I could make a long list on how it fullfills to the last detail everything I ask for in a great action and/or Bond movie... But here are a few: The twins, Gobinda and the yo-yo saw killers have to be among the most deadly henchmen Bond ever had to face. Throughout the movie, I am left startled with breathtaking stuntwork in the opening, on the train and on the plane at the end. We get a strong, smart and capable Bond girl. And the whole film is just so much fun and entertainment.

Thank you, Eric Serra's score is soooo good. Wish he'd have come back for another. "That's why you're alone" is such a great Bondian track.

Totally agree on GoldenEye score. For Your Eyes Only was slightly better as intro, but GoldenEye is much more pervasive.

My unpopular Bond opinions - - Connery is my 4th favourite Bond behind Dalton, Craig and Moore. Sometimes I even put him in 5th behind Brosnan. - loved No Time To Die(everything about it) - Diamonds are Forever is a top 10 Bond film for me. - I really like Casino Royale, and it’s in my top 7 Bond films. But I don’t rewatch it a lot and am surprised how almost every Bond fan usually has it top 3. - Telly Savalas Blofeld is by far the best. - Dr No is so boring and vanilla. Quantum of Solace I’d rather watch.

I agree, Goldeneye's score is really great. I love the industrial elements - and it really stands out as unique amongst the Bond soundtracks. I'm sure growing up with the N64 game influences my opinion some. You do point out some great aspects of Spectre, but it's almost like the "whole is less than its parts." It's still my least favorite film of Craig's 007, which is odd because my favorite Bond film ever is Skyfall which was essentially the same creative team (different cinematographer, though). I wish that Spectre would have been a stand alone film, like Skyfall, but had Stana Katic reprise her tiny cameo in Quantum in a significant role alongside Craig - she'd be so great; she's an excellent actress and speaks five languages fluently. She's also my celebrity crush, admittedly. Lastly, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante, from The Living Daylights, is my favorite Bond car, personally. I was glad it made a reappearance in No Time To Die.

I find your take on that License to kill line very interesting, and I must say I agree

1:04 Thank you for giving me a mention. Greatly appreciated. 👍🏼👍🏼

1) Overall I agree, I like this film but it's not of my favorites in the series. 2) Agree, I don't like both of them, but I prefer The Man With The Golden Gun. 3) I actually never noticed that... 4) No, it's bad. The first 50 minutes of the film are really great but the rest is just boring. 5) I totally agree it's great.

Lazenby would have been just as good as Roger, had he stayed on for three or four films.

I'm a big fan of TMWTGG too. It's my second favourite Moore film. I also think SPECTRE is better than most people give it credit for. It's not a top tier Bond film for sure, but there's far more good in it than the minor issues scattered throughout. And I enjoy Goldeneye's soundtrack too.

Great video as always! I completely agree accept for Spectre :D its soooo looong and slow paced. Theres just not enought character delevopment or moments in the story for that :S

My own popular opinion: Daniel Craig's Bond era was not great (apart from Casino Royale). I love Craig... Layer Cake, Munich, Cowboys & Aliens, Logan Lucky, Knives Out, even Flashbacks of a Fool! Great actor, but his Bond was not Bond. Suave, sophisticated secret agent, cars, guns, girls, glamour, the man all men want to be and all women want to be with. A man on a mission for Queen and country, taking us to exotic locations around the world. THIS is the fantasy, THIS is 007. But what did we get from Craig? Well, Casino Royale, we got ALL of that. But after that? We got a washed up agent, borderline alcoholic, probably suffering from depression, pining over his dead girlfriend (who he only knew for a few weeks at most), now declaring his love for a woman he thought had betrayed him in her kitchen, and making breakfast for his daughter??!??!?!?!?! This is not the fantasy life we associate 007 to be. This can be real life for the audience, not the escapist fantasy 007 gave us in the past. Although I am a big Daniel Craig fan, I'm glad his reign is over.

Great video!! With lots of excellent points as well! My own contribution to the unpopular Bond opinions is this…. I actually like Die Another Day!! ( ok ok I can hear Calvin’s computerized “ Boos!!” raining down on me) My feeling is definitely connected to the fact that my Mom and Dad - who took me to all the Bonds growing up both absolutely love it. Along with You Only Live Twice it was also the last film she saw before she passed away. So I’m sure that’s a factor. But still - I love the crazy action and over the top spectacle of it all. I love the Villains campiness and world threatening plot. I actually think Brosnan is actually great as James Bond in it( yes - to me it may be his best performance lol) I think the score is sensational and one of Arnold’s very best. And yep….. I LOVE that ridiculous invisible car! So sure - some of the dialogue is the worst of the series and it features the single stupidest moment in the franchises history ( we know what that is lol) But still - whenever I watch it I’m having a great time! And that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?😎

I’m with you on the Goldeneye soundtrack. Been a while since I last watched it, but I recall it fitting the vibe of the movie and the period it was made. Thanks for a great video. I now have a hankering to sit down and watch my way through all the movies from beginning to end.

I've been a Bond fan/collector of the books, movies and soundtracks since the late 70's. Each film has it merits and I like aspects of each. For the soundtracks, I love them all as they put me back in the film when listening to them.

Spectre is easily one of my favourite bond movies. I’d even rank it in my top 5. I get that the whole brother thing and trying to tie all the Craig films together was a bit of an unnecessary move but it’s focused on way too much by people.

1 - OHMSS decent movie but Lazenby sucked. 2 - Golden Gun is way better than LALD, James Bond Islands are magical, JW pepper is annoying at all times. 3 - Licence to Kill is a long and boring movie. 4 - Spectre is long and boring 5 - Goldeneye sound track is a work of art and holds a special place for those that played Goldeneye as a kid. 5A - Leon is a great film

Although I never was a fan of Serra, I never hated his score on GoldenEye. Funny thing is, it was used in part, as temporary tracks for The Long Kiss Goodnight. You can hear it on the deleted scenes from the BR bonus material.

How refreshing to hear a fellow fan of Serra's GoldenEye music. Though I do like Ladies First quite a bit

I have two: 1. 80's was the best decade for Bond movies. Even View to a Kill is so bad it's good. 2. John Gardner's novels are more fun to read than Ian Fleming's. Schlock over snob.

My unpopular opinions: 1. I don´t like Daniel Craig as Bond 2. I prefer The Living Daylights over Licence to Kill 3. I think OHMSS is perfectly fine with Lazenby

1:38 what song is this? I know it’s the OHMSS theme but it’s some unique composition. Same goes for the other remixes of the other title songs

Is the outro music View to a Kill available to download ?

I actually agree with your take about GoldenEye's soundtrack. I don't think the movie would work the same without it. On that note, Die Another Day is easily my second favorite Brosnan-era film, and I'll easily watch it over many of the more classic films of the 70s and 80s. I just usually have a good time with it, and Graves is so much more fun than Carver for instance.

I think A view to a Kill is a good movie 😅 it's entertaining, the music is great, has cool settings (eiffel tower, golden gate Bridge) and Walken a real badass villain!

Thank you, I always feel I'm the only one who defends Spectre

I Like OHMSS more than you do, but I've never been able to consider it a really top tier Bond movie they way it's increasingly regarded as. Lazenby is easily the weakest Bond overall but his chemistry with Diana Rigg works and he is able to absolutely nail that crucial final scene of her death in a way that the Sean Connery of that time never could have. I've always seemed to like TMWTGG more than most, but no, it's still not nearly as good as Live & Let Die. As for your #3, tbh I've never even really took notice of that moment in the film before, and now I'll never be able see anything but your interpretation of it, so I guess if nothing else I owe you some thanks for introducing me to a deeper, more nuanced layer to the character development in that film than I was aware of. I agree that in the end Spectre is "fine", but for a film with the potential this one had, "fine" is a huge problem! Christoph Waltz as Blofeld? that is Fantasy League casting right there, how could that possibly turn out so "meh."? Some would argue that a film with the potential of Spectre turning out "fine" is a much greater crime than the troubled, screenwriter strike-plauged Quantum Of Solace turning out the incoherent mess it was inevitably destined to be. Don't love the Goldeneye score, but it's passable overall except for the whimpering end credits song and that garbage car chase music that you also call out.

I actually agree with all your points :) I wish they released the alternative tank chase score of John Altman as a bonus track on Eric Serra's album, it so awesome

Great great video!!! A few things!!! 1. Biggest disagreement I have is I LOVE On Her Majesty's Secret Service it's a top 5 Bond film for me 2. While I prefer Live and Let Die, I do enjoy Man With The Golden Gun 3. 100% agree never thought it was bad acting from Lupe in License to Kill 4. I absolutely love Spectre it's a top 10 Bond film for me 5. I'm fine with the music from Goldeneye, I just always saw it as a product of it's time. So I can say I definitely agree with you on most and ultimately respect your honesty and explanations in your videos!!

Yes...Spectre is a good movie and fun to watch. Complex plot and interesting throughout

Dalton in "Living Daylights" gets Best Bond from me. Cold war Bond is the best. That "pipeline to the West" showed the trouble we have now.

We agree completely on 3, 4 and 5. Talisa Soto's performance in LTK is fine, Spectre is a perfectly decent middle of the road Bond film and Eric Serra's score for Goldeneye is excellent (and even The Experience of Love closing title song) is decent. 1 and 2 you're on your own mate, though I will say my difference in enjoyment between LALD and TMWTGG is minor so I can see it. 3-5 you're band on the money there.

Well as a bond fan each bond film does have strengths and weaknesses and Eric's score from goldeneye is unique but great and considering that film came out in the same year 1995 which yes I was born really holds a special place in my ❤️, and keep up the great work on the videos.

Out of these 5 opinions, I agree with you on 4 of them. On another unpopular opinion of mine, I like For your eyes only more than Casino Royale (Both are in my personal top 5, though)

I absolutely love Eric Serra's soundtrack to Goldeneye. For me its my favorite and its the most unique and never feels dated even 25 years later.

Yes I totally agreed with No 2. TMWTGG is a classic Bond movie & Moore was in good form. And of course Christopher Lee, what can I say he can do megalomaniacs in his sleep. But I have to respectfully disagree regarding No 4. Spectre was a chore to get through ( apart from the opening sequence ) as always keep up the good work.

9:29 100% agree. Goldeneye's score is awesome and it's a shame large parts of it were chopped in favour of a more traditional Bond score. It also inspired a lot of the music in the Goldeneye 007 N64 game, which is equally awesome, and very nostalgic for many 90's kids!

The Man with the Golden Gun was the first Bond movie I ever watched. It was on holiday in Zeeland, btw, but fortunately we had German television there as I had only started learning English back then. I was immediately hooked and became a huge Bond fan. Due to it being the movie that started it all for me it has a special place in my heart it likely wouldn't have otherwise. Probably for the same reason Moore is still my favourite Bond to this day, because he is the most easy-going Gentlemen of all the Bonds, always with that ironic, slightly arrogant smile. But I think also the plot has even aged rather well.

5:10 "She utters the line - 'At booking dot come we...'" Perfect ad placement for a What The- ? moment.
